kilorat

They say the first kilorats emerged from a Felmog galleon that discovered the remnants of a cursed city. The Felmog sailors ended up cursed themselves and their ship was infested with the plague-ridden, mutated rats. The giant vermin are now a plague upon the Land of Eem, dwelling in just about every dark corner of the world.

Names: Shimmyfoot, Death Breath, Bonetooth, Mr. Bongo

abilities

Plague Bite

On a 6+ Hit, the target must make a Vitality Check (-1 for each time they've been Hit by kilorats in the Combat). On a 2-, the target contracts Rat Plague and is POISONED. If the Rat Plague isn't cured in a day, the victim becomes riddled with odorous boils and suffers -1 to all Social Checks.

vulnerabilities

Kilorats are very food motivated and gladly take readily available food rather than work for it in a bloody battle. Solo kilorats are skittish and easily scared, but in large numbers anyone attempting to scare them off does so at Disadvantage.

combat

Kilorats swarm their enemies, scratching with their gnarled claws and biting with their sharp, diseased teeth. Half of their number sniff out the smallest, most tastylooking enemy and pounce, while the rest disperse among the others. They flee and run to their holes if the battle is not going their way.
